EARTH ANIMAL LAUNCHES NEW LINE OF
ORGANIC AND GRAIN-FREE BAKED COOKIES
Southport, Connecticut (February 2017) Earth Animal, the trusted choice in award-winning and veterinary formulated products which improve health and life for all our best friends, continues to expand their product assortment with a new line of grain-free, sprout based cookies for dogs, already touted as an ‘Editor’s Pick’ by Pet Age Magazine.
There are many types of treats being offered on the market today but what makes this line unique is that they are veterinary formulated recipes with sprouts, serving as a spark plug for the immune system. “Earth Animal’s new cookies were inspired by our own wholesome
diets recommended from our home kitchen and holistic veterinary practice.
Since 1979, we have always believed in organic foods and are devoted to finding
and using the very best ingredients for our products. What’s good for our dogs is good
for yours,” stated Dr. Bob Goldstein, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Earth Animal.
Earth Animal cookies are respectfully sourced from organic farms and produced in the USA in a human food bakery. They are grain and gluten free, void of soy, corn, or artificial flavors or colors. Buckwheat flour (which is a plant seed), peanut butter, wild-raised salmon, fruits and vegetables are the main ingredients in the new line. Earth Animal is offering four flavors: Farmer’s Pick with pumpkin & chicken, Fisherman’s Catch with Salmon & Flax, Pizza Crisps with tomato & olive oil, and Fairground’s Best with coconut & peanut butter.
“We had been getting requests from our retailers asking for an everyday, healthy treat that is versatile enough to use for training as well. They were a natural fit and have become a quick best-seller, enhancing our shelf space alongside our other products,” said Chris Moore, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Earth Animal.About Earth Animal
In1979, Dr. Bob Goldstein and his life partner, Susan Goldstein, embraced the transition from conventional veterinary medicine to an integrative and holistic approach focusing on the whole pet, and started creating natural products without using toxic chemicals to treat their patients and family animals. Their award-winning products are respectfully sourced from farms and produced with purpose in the USA. The Goldstein focus is on developing pure and safe products that improve the health and life of animals. They proudly support organizations which rescue all animals including factory-farm animals.

Talking About Pets to Start the New Year
Dr. Susan Dalton to be featured on Florida-based radio show “Talkin’ Pets Radio this Saturday, January 6th 2017.
SANTA BARBARA, CA (January, 2017) – When it comes to dog training and canine nutrition, few people know as
much about the subjects as certified dog trainer, Dr. Susan Dalton. With over ten years of experience training
dogs using positive reinforcement techniques, Dr. Dalton has dedicated herself to educating owners on how to
promote good behaviors with their troubled dogs so they will be happier, healthier, and more loyal. This
weekend, Jon Patch of “Talkin’ Pets Radio” will host Dr. Susan Dalton to explore her signature training
methodology and the unique dog treats that make this training extremely productive.
The show will air on Saturday, January 7th at 6:35 PM EST (3:35 PM PST). Listeners can tune in live at
http://talkinpets.com/new/media-gallery/listen-live-2.html to learn about dog training tips and for a chance to
win a bag of Dr. Dalton’s Premium Treats.
Dr. Dalton developed her Em-Pet-Thetic™ training methodology after the difficult challenge of training her own
dog, Cassie. From this experience, she learned the importance of establishing trust and understanding between
shy and aggressive dogs and their owners. Without a strong foundational bond, a dog can be reluctant or afraid
to respond to training efforts. In 2009, Dr. Dalton founded the California School for Dogs and has since trained
dozens of dogs using the principles of positive reinforcement and her Em-Pet-Thetic training program.
Positive reinforcement involves prompting good behaviors and rewarding them when they occur. Just like when
parents give their child something special for receiving good grades, giving dogs treats encourages them to
repeat the behavior. According to the Humane Society, positive reinforcement is one of the most powerful ways
to shape or change a dog’s behavior.1 In addition, Dr. Dalton contends that positive reinforcement is the basis
for addressing such undesirable behaviors as barking, running out the door, and teaching the command “stay.”
One of the cornerstones of positive reinforcement training is the frequent use of treats. Unhappy with the
choices of dog treats available, Dr. Dalton developed her very own high-quality treats: Dr. Dalton’s Premium
Treats. Made with just meat, these signature treats are high in protein and contain no additives, chemicals, or
1http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/dogs/tips/dog_training_positive_reinforcement.html?referrer=https://ww
w.google.com/
preservatives, making them the ideal treat for training purposes. In fact, they are the only treat that Dr. Dalton
allows her clients to use during her Em-Pet-Thetic training sessions because they are nutritious and of high-value
to the dogs-in-training.
To find these special treats, go to www.drdalton.com.
About Dr. Susan Dalton and Dr. Daltons Premium Treats
Dr. Susan Dalton grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds - dogs, cats, chickens, snakes, and even salt water
fish. After receiving her Ph.D., she worked with troubled adolescents and served as both a university professor
and researcher. Dr. Dalton began training dogs after adopting Cassie, a 10-week old Border Collie who had been
rescued from under a car. Cassie was traumatized; fearful and aggressive. When Dr. Dalton consulted various
“experts” on how to best rehabilitate Cassie, all of the trainers she spoke with labeled the pup unworkable - a
hopeless case.
Drawing upon her decades of experience in behavior modification, Dr. Dalton began reading everything she
could about dog training, and personally developed a highly effective program based on positive reinforcement.
Using this philosophy, she founded the California School for Dogs Inc. in 2009. Since then, Dr. Dalton has trained
hundreds of dogs - specializing in frightened, aggressive and traumatized animals.
With healthy treats being a cornerstone of her training program, Dr. Dalton wasn’t satisfied with the dog treat
options available to her. She started making her own treats in 2012, using clean and simple ingredients like
chicken, beef, and pork. It was her clients who convinced her to make her treats available for purchase. Since
then, Dr. Dalton has mastered the creation of a dog treat that is both healthy and doggy-delicious.
All of Dr. Dalton’s Premium Pet treats are sourced, produced, and packaged in the USA. They can be purchased
at www.DrDaltons.com and come in three flavors – Simply Beef, Simply Chicken and Meat Medley (made from
beef, chicken, and pork).

Women Owned-and-Operated Company, Treat-ibles, Makes Pooches Feel Pleasant with CBD!

With cannabis in the daily news, people have grown accustomed to stories about legalization and medical cannabis. But few Americans hear stories about Cannabis and Hemp products saving the lives of dogs. 

Pet owners throughout California are learning that Treat-ibles' cannabidiol-infused (CBD) pet treats have a place in overall wellness. 

“I was going to bring my dog to the vet today for anesthesia,” said a crying customer. “I couldn’t bear to watch her suffer with the pain anymore! I had an appointment to do it at 11am - but I postponed it until 5pm. I needed more time with her. She couldn’t walk with her bow legs; and the pain had gotten so bad that she wouldn’t get up. My son, who works at a dispensary in Los Angeles, heard about the Treat-ibles and sent me four of them. Within an hour she stood up and even jumped up on the couch. I couldn’t believe it! I was literally preparing myself to let her go. Now, I feel like I have my best friend back.”

This story, and many others like it, inspire the small staff at Treat-ibles to continue baking their products in hopes of helping thousands of dogs throughout the state. While the FDA doesn’t have a position on the medical implications of CBD, pet owners everywhere are noticing a difference in their dog’s attitude and well-being. In fact, while many companies have received letters asking the manufacturers to remove medical claims from their promotions, Treat-ibles has simply deferred to the research and trusted the opinions of their customers.

“It’s hard to deny them,” said Julianna Carella, Founder of the Oakland, California-based company. “These people make me cry every time! Their emotions are overwhelming on the phone. It’s hard not to get choked up.” 

While few veterinarians understand cannabidiol, pet owners find confidence in the fact that CBD is nontoxic and plant-derived. Treat-ibles makes their proprietary blend of CBD extracts from a responsible hemp resource to ensure the whole-plant extract contains the subtle compounds also found in the plant. The company also follows a rigorous quality-assurance protocol instituted by CW Analytical Labs to ensure their products are held to high standards. These careful considerations have helped elevate Treat-ibles as a quality brand. While some other CBD pet products, independently tested by a third party, prove to contain very little CBD (merely a few milligrams in the entire bag!) the Treat-ibles consistently tested at 1mg of CBD per treat. 

Due to the lack of knowledge and regulations surrounding products infused with cannabidiol, the Treat-ibles team have engaged with CW Analytical Labs to help them maintain an elevated level of consistency, purity, and safety. “This industry is truly unique,” said Carella. “California has very few regulations surrounding cannabis production with THC - but nothing about CBD! We’ve turned to the health department and pet food regulators to maintain best practices.”

“Dogs are our best friends,” said Carella. “Treat-ibles is our way of showing them how much that bond means to us!”

CYNJO Introduces The Foobler Puzzle Timed Dog Ball!

New York, NY – October 1, 2014 – Let’s face it, a bored dog is not a happy dog! As much as pet owners would love to spend hours and hours playing with their four-legged friends, that’s not usually possible. It may be heartbreaking to look into our dog’s bored eyes while taking care of other things in the home. Fortunately, there are many ways to occupy our furry friends while we are away to ensure they are safe, happy, and entertained. CYNJO has introduced a new interactive dog toy that will do just that and so much more! The Foobler Puzzled Timed Dog Ball is a fun, unique, and innovative product that is a must-have for all pet parents! Learn more at: http://cynjo.com/products/foobler.

The Foobler was designed by TGIF Design Group, manufactured by L’chic and is exclusively distributed by CYNJO. It is an automatic self-reloading puzzle feeder for dogs with 6 timer activated food pods. It’s like having 6 puzzle toys in one that deliver a full day's worth of regular kibble or treats for them to enjoy. Pet parents can simply fill the Foobler with up to 2 cups of kibble or treats and set it to release at 15, 30, 60 or 90 minute intervals for up to 9 hours a day. When it’s time to feed a metal bell rings alerting your dog that more kibble is available.

In today’s society, most dog owners work throughout the day, leaving their canine companions home for an extended period of time. The Foobler reloads itself throughout the day and will keep your dog engaged and active rather sleeping on the couch or getting into mischief. Spacing out feedings is a great way to stimulate Fido’s mind and give him the dog entertainment and rewards he deserves.

Separation anxiety affects 10.7 million dogs in the United States. Interactive toys like the Foobler are especially useful for high-energy breeds or dogs suffering from separation anxiety. Whether you’re taking a quick trip to the grocery store, or out for a long day, the Foobler is a product that will benefit your canine in numerous ways.

The Foobler is not a simple treat toy, but was designed to be a smart feeder for our pets. A dog's natural instinct is to hunt and forage for food. It keeps their brain and body active and engaged. Foobler reinforces this natural instinct for dogs to enjoy earning their meal.

This self-reloading puzzle feeder for dogs is easy to fill and clean. Valued at $39.99, each purchase comes with a free CYNJO poop bag. The Foobler is a unique and innovative product that will give pet parents peace of mind knowing their dog is occupied and happy while they’re away!
